Multiple Sclerosis and overall health...

Did you ever notice that when you have a cold or a headache, anything where you are not well, you multiple sclerosis seems worse? Today I had a blinding headache and I could not walk worth a darn for the first several hours of the day. I am mesmerized by how powerful multiple sclerosis is - it just wreaks havoc on our bodies.

How do we plan for our life when we never know minute to minute how we'll be feeling with multiple sclerosis? I am at a loss. I do my best to do things to keep feeling good (stay out of the heat, not allow myself to get too exhausted, not eat too poorly, minimize my stressful situations) however, all I can control is what I can control. I can't manage for everything else.

I have decided to agressively go after my diet as that is probably the best thing I can control. I am gaining too much weight and I believe that is putting stress on my body and therefore impacting my multiple sclerosis. More on the changes next time!
